The Italian Competition Authority has closed the investigation opened in July 2025 against Federconsorzio Dolomiti Superski and its twelve member valley consortiums, which operate cableways in locations including Cortina d'Ampezzo, Plan de Corones, Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, Alpe Lusia, Civetta, Arabba, 3 Zinnen, Val di Fiemme, San Martino di Castrozza and Rio Pusteria. The investigation concerned internal rules that, according to the Authority, could restrict competition, particularly regarding the pricing of valley skipass and sales methods through external parties.

To close the proceedings, Dolomiti Superski submitted a 30-million-euro economic compensation plan for customers who purchased daily or multi-day valley skipass during the 2022/2023, 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons. Starting October 15, skiers will be able to choose between two options: a 30% discount voucher on their previous spending, to be used for future purchases, for a total of 18 million euros; or a direct cash refund equal to 20% of what they previously spent, up to a maximum of 12 million euros.

The agreement also provides that over the next five winter seasons promotions and concessions already approved for the Dolomiti Superski superskipass will be offered, for an additional total value of approximately 20 million euros. Interested parties may consult the websites of the Federconsorzio and individual valley consortiums, or check notices at ticket offices and in local newspapers in the Triveneto area.

The president of the Federconsorzio, Andy Varallo, stated that the agreement will be implemented with criteria of transparency and impartiality, with updates directed at users and consumer associations. Varallo emphasized that the commitments presented to the authority were designed primarily for the guests of the facilities and that implementation will follow principles of third-party independence and transparency.

Consumer associations expressed diverging positions. Assoutenti criticized the plan, calling it difficult to use and warning of the risk of creating difficulties for customers. Consumerismo No Profit evaluated the agreement positively, while requesting independent checks on the results achieved.
